This time, it's the troglodytes in Washington state. They've introduced a bill in the legislature to "...allow businesses the right to deny services or goods if they felt doing so was contrary to their "sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, or matters of conscience..."
Washington state bill would allow businesses to deny gays
The target, of course, is homosexuals and the genesis of this bill is the floral shop which declined to sell flowers for a same-sex marriage, claiming it violated their religious principles. The excuse is that "There's a glaring lack of protection for religion in state law," according to Sen. Sharon Brown who filed the bill.
Do tell. A "glaring lack of protection?"
It'll be interesting to see how they'll react when a Muslim shop owner refuses service for a Christian ceremony, won't it?
Thankfully, the bill has little change of passing, but it highlights the GOP's inherent bigotry anyhow.
